American PSYCHO | Troydavidmill

Be the first to love this poster

As a Creative/Designer the business card scene in this film is top-notch. To me it’s one of the most memorable and why I chose it as my subject for this poster. It’s expected to see someone from our world gushing over the print techniques of the card, but having that come from a Wall Street bro was an amazing layer.

This concept pays homage to the film’s title sequence while bringing in more visual references from the film. The drop of blood on the O adds color contrast against the white and black that fills most of the frame and alludes to the violent murders displayed by Patrick Bateman. The background black vinyl nods to the bag used to dispose of Paul Allen’s body.

I took creative liberty with the print technique on the card by using an embossed varnish for the title with no ink vs. the standard process used in the film of black ink with a letterpress. This was done to help draw more attention to the drop of blood.

As it stands, this might be my favorite movie poster I’ve made yet!
